Organic Matcha Tea Powder

Matcha is a powdered form of Japanese green tea that is becoming increasingly popular, with a growing demand in the United States, the United Kingdom, and several countries in South Asia.  Matcha tea is known to offer various health benefits. It promotes cognitive function and cardiovascular wellness, and may also support cellular health. Studies have also demonstrated that consuming matcha with a high-fat diet resulted in reduced weight and food intake, improved glucose levels, and reduced oxidative stress.

The following are common benefits that matcha tea powder promotes:

Increases energy and endurance – Matcha powder energizes the organism due to its natural caffeine content. The caffeine in matcha is absorbed slowly over 3 to 6 hours, providing sustained energy rather than sudden spikes. This slow release occurs because the caffeine binds to antioxidants (catechins) and the amino acid L-theanine, slowing the absorption and preventing the jitters and crashes commonly seen with regular coffee consumption.

Raises anabolic rate – Matcha green tea powder can boost the anabolic rate (muscle building and metabolism). Green tea is rich in catechins, a type of antioxidant known to elevate the body’s metabolic rate. The more catechins a person consumes, the higher the body’s resting metabolic rate, resulting in burning fatty tissue faster.

Reduces stress levels – Decreased stress levels are due mainly to high concentrations of the amino acid L-theanine, which promotes relaxation and increases alpha brain waves without causing drowsiness. Researchers have found that it lowers cortisol, eases anxiety, and provides a focused “Zen-like” feeling.

Full of antioxidants – Green tea is rich in antioxidants, especially epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which are known to restore the body’s well-being and balance. Several ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) tests have confirmed that matcha has extremely high amounts of antioxidants.

Strengthens the immune system – Matcha boosts immune defense through its high concentration of antioxidants, particularly epigallocatechin (EGCG), which can promote the production of T-cells and anti-inflammatory activity. As a potent source of polyphenols, matcha green tea offers antiviral and antibacterial properties to fight the invasion and multiplication of harmful germs.
